Our military has no peer. The odds of a direct threat against us by any nation are low, and do not come close to the ***ers we faced during the Cold War. Meanwhile, our economy remains the most dynamic on Earth, our businesses the most innovative. Each year, we grow more energy independent. From Europe to Asia, we are the hub of alliances unrivaled in the history of nations.

我们的军队天下无敌，任何国家对我们构成直接威胁的概率极小，而且与我们在冷战时期所面临的危险相去甚远。同时，我们的经济活力仍居世界第一，企业的创新性也名列前茅。我们能源独立性在逐年增。从欧洲到亚洲我们是各国有史以来无敌的联盟轴心。

But the world is changing with accelerating speed. This presents opportunity, but also
new ***ers. We know all too well, after 9/11, just how technology and globalization has put power once reserved for states in the hands of individuals, raising the capacity of terrorists to do harm.

但是，如今的世界瞬息万变，这为我们带来了机遇也带来了新的危险
“9 •11”恐怖袭击事件让我们清楚地认识到，科技和全球化发展让原本由国家掌控的权力落人了个人之手，让***更能为非作歹。

As the Syrian civil war spills across borders, the capacity or battle-hardened extremist
groups to come after us only increases. Regional, aggression that goes unchecked, whether in southern Ukraine or the South China Sea or anywhere else in the word, will ultimately impact our allies, and could draw in our military. We can't ignore what happens beyond our boundaries.

随着叙利亚内战战火跨越边境，受战年洗礼的极端组织攻击美国的能力也在增强。地区冲突接踵而至，无论是在乌克南部、南海抑或是世界其他地方，如果我们对此坐视不管
最终这将危及美国盟交的利益，美军也会卷人其中。因此，我们必须时刻关注外界事态。

War is mankind's most tragic and stupid

战争是人类最悲惨、最愚笨的蠢行，无论是蓄意挑起战争，还是为其献计献策，这都是对全人类犯下的滔天罪行。
